Switzerland continues to be one of the richest countries in the world. However, director Jan-Eric Mack argues that there are cracks beneath this wealth. Mack states, "During the pandemic, we began to see people lining up for food. This was an unusual sight for Switzerland, where poverty is rarely seen on the streets." This situation reveals the hidden face of society and exposes the existence of deep social issues alongside wealth.

The film aims to explore the dark realities behind Switzerland's surface perfection. Mack emphasizes that the changes occurring in society and the struggles people face have become more visible than ever before. "In Switzerland, people usually hide their problems, but during this process, everyone's story began to come to light," he says. This situation also raises the necessity for solidarity and mutual aid within the community.

'A Happy Family' goes beyond being just a film; it highlights issues of social justice and equality. Through this film, Mack wants audiences to see Switzerland's dark side and reflect on these topics. The film aims to provide viewers with a thought-provoking experience by shedding light on deeper societal issues alongside wealth and prosperity.
